life lessons from dubious sources, part 1
My friends Chris, Amy, Julia, Ian, Chris’ friend from DC and I went to the bar
87 ludlow
on the LES a few weekends ago. The space is U-shaped with the bar on the left, a dance floor on the right and a wall in the middle. We went there on a Saturday night and we were surprised to find it fairly empty. The dance floor was completely empty, but fueled by alcohol and inspired by Ian’s skills and passion we were dancing the night away in the far corner.
Apparently our dancing was enough to entice random people from the other side of the bar to come over periodically and stare at us. Someone said they thought we were being made fun of, but I know that these staring people were simply projecting their dancing hopes and dreams onto the canvas that was our dancing bodies, like an overbearing father yelling at their kid at a little league soccer game.
After some time the manager of the bar came over and shared this life lesson:
“Why don’t you guys come over to the main dance area so others can see you? It’s not what you think of yourself that matters, it’s what everyone else thinks about you.”
Chris has speculated that the guy’s day job is in elementary education. I would bet money on it.
Here it is so you don’t forget:
